Probably gonna cop 3 or 4 for this online sale and save Strangelove and New World for the 50% off sale.
Is Sweet Smell of Success worth a blind buy?

The Criterion Collection in 2017: All Fancy Movie GAF Releases Welcome!

Oh hell yes. One of the most deliciously acerbic noirs of all time.
Not too eager to get anything at the moment. Think I'll wait for the 50% off and grab New World and Strangelove.
I think so. Great noir.

Word, got Sweet Smell of Success as my blind buy, and then went with Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, and Don't Look Now, all of which I knew I needed to own pretty much immediately after watching them.

What happened to rumors of The Witch being Criterion?
Wow, uh, that's certainly a trailer for Beyond. Had no idea it was X.

Well, looks like I'm double dipping on Blood Simple.

Probs not happening (at least for a while) since it recently had a Bluray release

Not sure if this is news or not, but there's a rumor that criterion is working on a version of Pan's Labyrinth.
Blood Simple is out?
Nevermind. I saw the previous page. The box art is sexy as hell!
It's not much of a rumor anymore:
If I had to guess, this will be one of their big fall titles. A long time coming, since WB hit the current Blu-ray hard with the DNR.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the foldout posters. Wish they went back to booklets, but I'm guessing the foldouts are cheaper to make or something.

Not a fan of GDT or Pan, but hopefully they'll get some extra sales for Spirit of the Beehive and Cria Cuervos out of this release, considering how heavily del Toro borrows from those two.
Dammit. I hope they don't knock it out of the park... I don't want to triple dip.
(I will say that splurging for the steelbook with the Drew Struzan art was so worth it)
The Arrow sale is on!
Might be worth waiting a day or two and see if the pound plunges further if you're outside of the (for-now-)UK. If you're in the (for-now-)UK... good luck.

I'm guessing arrow isn't region free?
I'm assuming you mean Criterions?
Most of their stuff isn't, I think this is the best available list of all US friendly releases. There might be one or two which isn't on that list

I already snagged Mulholland Drive, Don't Look Now, Eraserhead, and Sweet Smell of Success at the 60% of b&n online sale a few weeks ago, but I'll probably get a few more in store.
The New World and Dr. Strangelove are a must, and maybe I'll get one more. Perhaps Badlands or Ikiru.

Looking forward to the BN sale. Will probably go in store a couple of times over that period to get that extra member's discount, plus I have some coupons burning a hole in my pocket that'll knock an extra $20 off the final price.
Strangelove for sure, I'll see what else jumps out at me when I'm there and what they have in stock. I wouldn't mind double-dipping on Solaris and Jules and Jim and upgrading from DVD. Maybe the Tati collection.

New 4K scan courtesy of Scream/Shout! Factory.
I really like that cover actually. There's also a limited edition slip like the past few releases.
Oh yeah, if anyone knows of additional %-off coupons that are usable on this sale that would be nice.

Are pre-orders that release during the B&N sale usually discounted as well, or will I just have to jump on them at release? Because newer titles often go out of stock during these sales.
Just the ones coming out in July. I'm pretty sure the sale ends the day before any of the August releases even come out.
Anyway, I would definitely pull the trigger on the likes of Dr. Strangelove and the July releases ASAP.

Synapse has had that on lockdown for a while now. It's been a while since they first announced it and we've probably still got quite a bit to go until it's released, but I'd bet money that it's going to be worth it.

The link PSY posted has got a few screen caps. It looks fantastic, and it's probably my most anticipated future Blu-ray release. I had only seen Suspiria once and that was on an old dvd transfer, I assume watching the Blu-ray will have the same effect that the Jaws Blu-ray did.
It's so red...instead of pink and orange and shit. Gonna be so good.
Anyway, I can't wait to pick up Carnival of Souls. It, along with Nosferatu and Night of the Living Dead, pretty much informed my taste in horror growing up, and yet I've only seen a shitty DVD transfer of it that came in a collection of public domain horror films. The finale is going to look incredible.
And speaking of NotLD, I wonder how Scorsese's restoration is coming along?

I've been wondering the same thing, I haven't heard a word about it since the announcement.
Starts on the 5th.
